This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with 5-8 years of post-qualification experience to take on a leadership role, in a firm that can offer a brilliant work-life balance and supportive team environment.

* Excellent working knowledge of the Insolvency Act 1986 and Insolvency Rules 2016 and Companies Act 2006.
* Proven ability to lead and manage insolvency matters, particularly in contentious areas. Capable of offering oversight and expertise, immediately taking on supervisory responsibilities.
* Good contacts in the Insolvency Profession and a following would also be welcomed. As would a candidate that has majored on contentious insolvency work, looking to broaden their skill set to become a fully rounded insolvency lawyer.
* Overseas applicants with relevant contentious experience also welcome to apply.
Why Join Us?
* Attractive proposition with a varied caseload and significant client interaction.
* An incredibly supportive and cohesive team environment, with flexibility and work-life balance juxtaposing the industry standard.
* Opportunity to work with a wide range of insolvency practitioners, banks, lenders, investors, directors, companies and individuals.
